The question is asked by many
intelligent people why William NJ
Evarts, who few years ago was sur
passed by almost no man i'll public
influence, is of so little account in
later discussions: Our answer to it
would be that in the earlier days Mr.
Evarts was speaking his own patrio-
tic convictions of public affairs; in The
Ia ter ones he has attempted to argue
in favor of those of the party maua-
gers. The result of the latter
course has been no more
favorable to his ambition than
II has TO his power.
